Pink sky and Hoar Frost in Penketh.

This has been such an unusual week weatherwise.
I've moaned a bit...well more than a bit...and of this I'm truly ashamed!
It's a photographer's dream out there. And this is only the suburbs. It'must be glorious in the countryside at the moment.
Now I know it's hard getting around.
Just today a friend fell for the second time as she was on the way to have the plaster taken off the first break!
And I walked to another friend's home for coffee this morning...walking like a very nervous old lady [which I almost am, may I say!]
The fog landed on the trees and vegetation and settled there like sparkling diamonds in clusters.
And this afternoon the sky turned a gorgeous colour of pink!
Camera out!

It is all looking rather stunning, but oh your poor friend! I've been living in fear of that happening to me, and I don't think I'm quite an old lady yet. Despite it's beauty, I would love to see some dull, boring rain.

pg...yes , she is quite an old lady and I'm concerned for her for the rest of the winter. These things pull one down psycologically and that doesn't help the physical healing.Glad you are so much better...young bones!120...thankyou! well I'm not a very good photographer but you just couldn't miss today!Erin...what fun that would be!

The Potters House Penketh

I am half of The Potters House here in Penketh. The other half and some may say, the more important half, is Alan,for he is the potter at The Potters House.But you know the old saying, "behind every potter....."
I have an ongoing theme running through my life and my art, "The human race on the edge". Obviously a play on words which probably comes from my childhood spent each summer in a caravan at Ballyferris in Northern Ireland. But also as a reference to the fragility of existence. So my sea paintings have a conceptual meaning behind them, as do the coastal edge paintings. The early renaissance painters used the symbol of man in a boat as the human spirit battling against all that life can throw at it. The Potters House is first and foremost a home and then a business.We started it, inexperienced, thirty years ago and weathered the calms and the storms.So here on in comes the rest.
